Great work. Just a tip if nobody has mentioned it yet. You can put zip ties on your doors. Then you will know if someone has tampered with your pots. You can get different coloured ones so you know they are yours 👌
Matts, you should try tying the bait bag to the bottom of the pot. ChrisPFish had a video where we saw crab eating the bait from the outside of the trap in his underwater cam. If you tie it to the bottom where your 5lb weight is, it should ensure that no crab can eat the bait without first climbing in the cage.
@@FishermansLife still brotha you literally went from saying a lil bit of butter which was the main reason i watched then you just kept it so real and informative that me and all my team got hooked now you got a boat . nothing but respect from seattle wa and keep up all the great work and stay humble love your show . damn i miss a little bit of butter
You got me into ocean fishing and ever since it’s been my favorite type of fishing. I got a hoodie and it’s a lot more wind resistant than I thought it would be. Got to wear it on a charter this morning in 40* weather and rain and I wasn’t cold in the slightest plus the jigs produce big time 👍🏼
Dang man I love your videos so much and I have watched a ton of them. I love that you do everything solo and just enjoy the solitude and your surroundings and every minute of your adventures. You inspire me. Thanks for being you👍
I was thinking the same thing, a thick zip tie that won't be easily popped off. Do u think sea lions or seals are smart enough to pop the doors open some how to eat the bait? Maybe it's worth risking a cheap under water camera to see 😂
My thoughts exactly. We always use zip ties on those type of pots. They are notorious for popping open. It’s the safer route to go- you just snip them when you pull it up. Great catch by the way!
Hell yeah I caught my first salmon on my kayak at Pigeon Point last week! I hope to see you out there sometime I've fished with Die Hard fishing and all of them
I remember you saying the cage door is closed as you drove off to drop another pot. It is possible that someone could pick up and take your crab. It’s not a coincidence that a few of your pots were open. Perhaps next time, salmon fish around your crab pots. Like troll in square lines around your pots, and keep an eye out for boats coming around your pots. 🤷🏻♂️
I know they're oversaturated and people don't follow fishing rules but I'd love to see a pier video where you're just chillin' takin it easy and talking bout whatever. Kinda like a Fishing/Vlog mix especially with your choice of relaxing tunes.
Here's a handy trick on your winch. When you're undoing the wraps on the winch, if you pull the line straight up vs. unwind them, this works much faster and easier.
Always a pleasure to watch your show 👍 May I ask do you keep your boat in a marina or storage or your house ? I live in a town home, but cannot keep a boat here. So thinking of using storage yard .
We took tuna sandwiches out there for lunch. And we had 7 up soda in a ice cooler, bag of Fritos corn chips and fruits, corn on the cob. For some reason, if one of us got sea sick, we felt so much better after eating a lunch of these items. The cold 7 up really helps. Any lime soda works fine. Nice fish 🐟
I always kept the intestines and parts that I don't use for food for bait bags for my crab traps, freeze them in a container and use the brick in a bag
Buy a weird color zip tie and just tie your cages shut. If someone opens it you'll know. Not many people will have hot pink zip tie on their boats lol.
Seems like you might want to attach a float to your net. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before it ends up in the water. Also have you considered adding a kicker to your boat? I’m sure it would save you some money on gas and it’s good to have a backup if you’re going to be running out 20mi, just a thought.
I had a kicker but took it off when the gas line broke. I should put it back on to troll slower for halibut. About they net...if it falls in, well...I'll risk it. Will keep me sharp lol
Bro.. Just ran into your channel yesterday! Its pretty entertaining! Bro any suggestions? Im not really a fisherman but I'll be in North Carolina next month. Any tips on surf fishing ? Lol. Just noticed i was on the wrong phone
always a good day when you catch limits early 😁 I wonder if its because you were using da bigger buoy and easier for ppl to see and poach vs. your detergent buoys 🤔
Let's go I'm in the top ten comments!! Watching your videos gets me excited for the salmon in my area!! You always make your videos with us in mind I have yet to see anybody else who puts the effort you do and I commend you for it thank you so much!! And Tight Lines!!
the Tekota is a great reel, though IDK of a Shimano Reel that sucks…I haven’t found one yet. I eBay Calcuttas, Trinidads, Tekotas & TLDs of new and used varieties & have way too many. they make me happy when they’re loaded up in my rod holders and even happier when I hook, reel in & land fish.
also i cant wait to get out on lake superior guys are already getting out but my boats not ready yet lol ill have to try those cable baiters no one really uses bait here its mostly spoons or flasher and flies
I live in south Texas and have never gone salmon fishing but quick question.... I'm subscribed to you and the gang (as well as ChrisPfish) and when I see underwater footage of the anchovy/sardine it always looks like it's going crazy in a big circle. I see you guys bend the bait and check how it spins in the water before dropping it but the underwater footage never looks like this. Are we sure bending the bait is necessary? I don't plan to go salmon fishing in the near future, it was just an observation that had me wondering. Always looking forward to the next upload!
the bend makes it spin, but what youre probably seeing is a 360 flasher typically run 5-7' up the line that makes the whole leader behind it rotate a wide circle.
I’d recommend fastening the downrigger down when running. There’s a lot of vibration created and it could cause the screws to back themselves out or loose a nut (if bolts were used which I’d recommend) or potentially snap depending on the style and strength of the screws and how good you have it mounted whether you used a piece of wood for backing or had a solid object to screw into. On the downside if it’s mounted super securely be weary of snagging your downrigger ball as something has to give and break in that situation could be potentially dangerous/expensive. Tight lines my guy and quality knots
Snubbers help but yes a nice transom Scotty mount directly connected without the extensions would probably be safer but then you have to lean over the rail wich is potentially dangerous. would be ideal to use something that can be easily disconnected with the quick bolts from Scotty and installed after you get there. Permitting calm waters of course.
Are lobster caught the same was as crab? I've lived in KY my whole life, so only freshwater and hunting, never been able to do any saltwater fishing/trapping but I want to one day.

@@charlescoult I think this was the video by chris around the 14:45 mark ruclips.net/video/f7JnikekUEA/видео.html
I love that you show it how it is, no frills. Thanks for the great content once again!
I love how simple and well edited your videos are, it makes them easy to watch but also fun and engaging
The adrenaline rush when you’re hooked up and not paying attention to how to net properly. lol
King salmon fishing is my favorite fish to fish! Watching you catch them brings back so many memories! You are living the life that's for sure
love how you went from rock fishing to small boat to big boat very impressive
Only 16ft, not that big!

One zip tie on each pot door will , keep them secure . 🙂

Bungee cord is good too
@@MagnusSentDooM octopus can open crab traps
Yeah zip ties will definitely do the job, I was going to recommend him to do that too.
I really enjoy how real you keep your content!
I may seem okay, but deep down I want to see a lobster catch and cook 😏
I hear you bro
Your videos get me through the winter. Jealous. Also your swivels are nice. I picked up a bunch. Love the channel.
It was a pleasure to meet you in person yesterday and excellent videos 🙏
Hell yeah I caught my first salmon on my kayak at Pigeon Point last week! I hope to see you out there sometime I've fished with Die Hard fishing and all of them
Nice! Surprised you caught one so close. That's awesome though!!
Keep up the great work my man! Loving the videos.
I was screaming when you couldn’t get that king😂 thank god you got it though
love your vids man, keep up the great content!
You chill as hell. Hope your hip is healing well bruh. Let's go.

My pops got some of your merch for him and I and man is it comfortable, thanks fisherman’s life 👍🏼👍🏼 -BAD waters fishing
Always great to see !!! Great video can’t for the next one!!!

Love the videos man keep up the good work
Love your channel bro. Man l wish I had a boat like that to go fishing every day. You are so lucky bro.
The Shimano Tekota's are awesome. We use them on the Great Lakes for salmon. I haven't done any maintenance on them yet even after 15 years!!
Hope to get out this season in the bay, this video getting me excited
Man I have not got to catch a salmon or a halibut yet but it’s in the bucket list lol thanks for all the tips and tricks keep it coming lol
Great catch fast limit I'm definitely going to see what my next fish have been eating next time
This was great. As always
you can tell homie got caffeine in his system for this one, haha... love you Matts!
That ride home??? Perfect Matt's.
Blessings brother.
I cant wait to get out this season bro! Working on an epic boat build right now!
Great trip. Tricky netting the fish when solo. I can sense your excitement when catching the salmon. Lots of adrenaline pumping through your veins.
u r so brave to brave it out in the open water 😊 awesome content
Nice work!!!

Excited for fall salmon fishing. Cheers
You the best Matt. I been rocking with you for years. Love your videos and you are number one..
Detroit City 👊🏿
With your raymarine system you should put in an autopilot. It’s easy to install. You’ll love it!
I learned to fish by watching your videos
I always got seasick. One Dr. told me to load up on B- complex at least a week before going out on a boat. It works. Don't get sick anymore.
You make it look easy 👍
Killed it!
Great vid
I think the seal found your cages and was trying to get through to the fish.
That would be my guess.
We took tuna sandwiches out there for lunch. And we had 7 up soda in a ice cooler, bag of Fritos corn chips and fruits, corn on the cob.
For some reason, if one of us got sea sick, we felt so much better after eating a lunch of these items. The cold 7 up really helps. Any lime soda works fine.
Nice fish 🐟
The jelly fish are on to your ways lol
You’re the gate away from reality all of us need.
was out there too. Got 5 on the day for 4 people but took us until 12 to get our first
Hell yea! Let’s eat! Going after tuna next month in SD from Oakland!
I always kept the intestines and parts that I don't use for food for bait bags for my crab traps, freeze them in a container and use the brick in a bag
SWEET BRO ! LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL !
All kinds of entanglements down there huh? First Will now the whales...
those damn crab pirates bro
Buy a weird color zip tie and just tie your cages shut. If someone opens it you'll know. Not many people will have hot pink zip tie on their boats lol.
enjoyable video
Is it possible to install a lock of some sort on the crab traps? And maybe a GoPro too haha

@@FishermansLife just epoxy a piece of pool noodle to it and it should float!
@@brettlucas4611 that’s kinda what I was thinking
The pier we crab from mostly has Red Rock Crabs. They're a lot more work, but they taste great! Just keep the biggest ones.
I usually put a small weight about 10’ down my line when I’m using poly rope
Good Video 📹 👍
Excellent videos. What kind of boat is that, the brand. Could you give me the link where they are sold? I like it compact.
Where is all the new catch clean and cooks at
Bro.. Just ran into your channel yesterday! Its pretty entertaining!
Bro any suggestions? Im not really a fisherman but I'll be in North Carolina next month. Any tips on surf fishing ? Lol. Just noticed i was on the wrong phone
If I ever end up going to Cali will you do a guide or charter service? You know your shit and I'd love to go!
Hey man, long time fan, love the videos. I have a quick question, do you do RUclips for a living or have a another job? Very curious. Thank you!
Hi, you mentioned in this video a new sea sickness drug you tried. What was it and did it work?
always a good day when you catch limits early 😁 I wonder if its because you were using da bigger buoy and easier for ppl to see and poach vs. your detergent buoys 🤔

Quick limit! You make it look easy.
Got on a hot bite!
i noticed on the 1st crab pot you pulled has the cotton cut, or something notice theres a cross opening where the squares dont connect!
Did this man just say there was a "Will entanglement"?!
Get a few marine grade locks for your crab traps..... we had to do that awhile ago, suddenly we had crab in the traps again.
Awesome nice size salmon great for eating
Good stuff Matts! How far back you setting the bait when you're trolling shallow like that?
I was setting back about 25 to 30 ft
Thanks!
also i cant wait to get out on lake superior guys are already getting out but my boats not ready yet lol ill have to try those cable baiters no one really uses bait here its mostly spoons or flasher and flies
i love ur video good job good fishing u are great fisherman have a good day matt hehehe thats pretty much👌👍👍👍👍👍✌🤙🎣🐬🐋🐠❤❤❤🔥
is it allowed to put small master locks on the cages to prevent opening or deter opening?
No, even zip ties are technically illegal
Lol netting your own fish can be tough! They same the fifth time is the charm!

Hi bro how are you feeling love to see you back in action
flouro bumper to braid. I should try that. My line pops off all the time
How well did that Travacalm work for you? I’m still looking for a good seasick solution?
Travacalm or kwells has been great for me
@@FishermansLife awesome thanks for the info! And great content, love your videos! Keep up the great work!
